BBQ Chicken Salad

Yum! This salad is great. It perfect for summer when you don't want to heat the house. The first time I ever had Jicama, was when I ate this salad. If you have never had Jicama or have no idea what it is, Google it and make sure you add it. The Jicama adds a lot. P.S. Jicama is pronounced (He-ka-ma) just so you don't embarrass yourself when you ask for it in the produce section.
